  Following the Transcontinental Railroad Back Country Byway

  Sep 26, 2008

  The Transcontinental Railroad Back Country Byway takes you on a 90-mile journey parallel to the old rail beds of the 1869 Transcontinental Railroad. This railroad was formed after an epic race, when the tracks laid by the Central Pacific Railroad connected with those laid by the Union Pacific Railroad at Promontory Summit north of the massive Great Salt Lake.
